Title: Computation of p-torsion of Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves
Abstract: An elliptic curve defined over a finite field of characteristic p can be ordinary or supersingular; this distinction measures certain properties of its p-torsion. The p-torsion of the Jacobian of a curve of higher genus can also be studied and classified by interesting combinatorial invariants, such as the p-rank, a-number, and Ekedahl-Oort type. Algorithms to compute these invariants exist but have not been implemented. In this talk, I will explain how to compute these invariants and describe the lag in producing explicit curves with given p-torsion invariants.

\mathbb{F}_q, q = p^a, then E/\mathbb{F}_q can be ordinary or supersingular. Some ways to determine this implemented in Sage: a_p, newton_slopes of Frobenius_polynomial, Hasse_invariant.
Suppose C/\mathbb{F}_q is a curve of genus g. The easiest type of curve to look at are hyperelliptic curves y^2=f(x) where f(x) has degree 2g+1. The p-torsion of its Jacobian has invariants generalizing the ordinary/supersingular distinction. These are called p-rank, a-number, Ekedahl-Oort type, etc. Its Jacobian also has a Newton polygon (the length of slope 0 portion equals the p-rank). The Newton polygon has been implemented for hyperelliptic curves in Sage for large p. The easiest type of curve to look at is y^2 = f(x) where f(x) has degree 2g+1.
To compute some of these: set up y^2 = f(x), raise f(x)^{(p-1)}{2} = \sum c_i x^i. Create the (g\times g) matrix M = (c_{p*i-j}) (the ijth entry is the coefficient of x^{pi-j}). Look at the g by g matrix,
M^{(p^i)} = (c_{p*i-j}^{p^i})
(take the p^ith power of each coefficient and create N = M M^{(p)} M^{(p^2)} ... M^{(p^{g-1})}.
The matrix M is the matrix for the Cartier operator on the 1-forms. The p-rank is the rank of N. The a-number equals g-rank(M).
For the Ekedahl-Oort type you need the action of F and V on the deRham cohomology (more difficult).
Test cases: y^2=x^p-x (p-rank 0, and (if I remember correctly) a-number (p-1)/2).
Some questions: for genus 4 (or higher), and given prime - is there a curve of p-rank 0 and a-number 1.
I will describe more motivation and questions on Thursday.
